| = Ring-bearer =
| |
| Your Ring-bearer is a [[companion]] who you place on the table before your starting fellowship. He or she is the key component of your deck, as all strategies rely on killing or corrupting the Ring-bearer, and you only win if your Ring bearer is alive at the regroup phase at site nine.

|
| At the game's initial release with [[Fellowship of the Ring]], the only playable Ring-bearer was Frodo, and if Sam was in play when he died, [[the One Ring]] would pass to Sam and you would continue on with Sam as your Ring-bearer. This remained true until the release of [[Reflections]], when 6 new Alternate Ring-bearers became available. Alternate Ring-Bearers represented what would happen if Frodo had given or had the [[One Ring]] taken by one of the characters. They were typically lower in [[resistance]] than Frodo, but compensated by having higher strength usually. This allowed for monoculture decks, since {{C|Gondor}}, {{C|Elven}}, {{C|Dwarven}}, and {{C|Gollum}} all recieved Ring-bearers.
| |
|
| |
| Once [[Bloodlines]] was released, two new alternate Ring-bearers were made of Sam and Gandalf, allowing ever culture but {{C|Rohan}} to have a Ring-bearer.

| |source=Ring-bearer and The One Ring
| |
| |text=You may choose any character with the ringed resistance icon, or any version of Frodo, to be your Ring-bearer. You may choose any version of The One Ring. These two cards are not part of your draw deck (they do not count against your total of Free Peoples cards).}}

| {{RulesQuote
| |
| |source=Ring-bearer
| |
| |text=One Free Peoples character always begins the game as your Ring-bearer. (See building your deck.) He bears The One Ring for you, much as when Frodo carried the Ring in his pocket or on a chain around his neck.
| |
|
| |
| If a character other than Frodo is your Ring-bearer, you cannot play any version of Frodo with the Ring-bearer keyword during the game.
| |
|
| |
| While wearing The One Ring, your Ring-bearer can perform all normal actions such as moving and skirmishing. He may defend against attacking minions as usual.
| |
|
| |
| The Ring-bearer cannot be discarded or returned to your hand, and skirmishes involving the Ring-bearer cannot be cancelled.}}
